A few days later, Wade announced that he and Gabrielle Union will be donating $200,000 on behalf of Chicago to the March for Our Lives fundraiser. Marches will take place in Washington, D.C., and other cities around the country on March 24 "to press their demands for safer schools and for legislation 'to effectively address the gun violence issues that are rampant' across the nation, per USA TODAY.

"(Carmelo Anthony and I) both come from communities where gun violence is an every day (occurrence)," Wade wrote."Enough is enough! … They need our help! I'm asking my NBA fam to join us in raising money to send kids from undeserved communities to march."
